I HOPE that was a joke. He's talking about the Let Me Google That for You page where it types your question for you.

Cockroach, you learn how to use PIL the same way you learn Python, and its modules, and pretty much everything else... RTFM. (Read the Fucking Manual)If you ever intend to write code you need to learn to research. Don't waste your time (and ours) asking every little thing on a forum. Get out there and find answers. That's what ALL programmers do when they need to do something they aren't familiar with.

That comes across as a bit rude, but please understand this is the process we all go through. Everyone here understand the newbie point of view (i.e. even the manual/help function results are scary and confusing), but we all must take off the training wheels some time. Keep coming back and keep learning.

Well, I didn't mean to be rude. I almost toned it down with "Freakin" or "EFFing" but I figured we're all adults here.I think it's really important that new coders learn that researching and working problems out for themselves is a critical skill that is required to be a good programmer. Not even the best of us can remember all the details of every module. You must learn to find answers quickly. That means using the help that comes with python through pydocs, docstrings, help options, IDE tricks and yes, even MANUALS.It seems that many of the newbs these days go right to a social forum with every little question and wait to be spoon fed answers before even making any attempt to work it out themselves. This is a bad thing on many levels. ( obligatory link: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html )

I understand that, and I had no intention of reprimanding you for your post (despite offensive language). My point was that while your response may seem rude, your intention was likely to be helpful. At some point we must learn to do our research before asking a question.
